Siani/ILP

Posted by Siani Davis in Ilp - 10Th Grade - Baird - Wed on
Right now I am ILP'ing at my mom's job. She is an accountant at a company where they organize huge sheets of metal and sell them. I so far have just helped out with little work and meeting a couple people but this week I will be taking a tour of the plant, getting to know personally what everyone does in the company; having a conversation with everyone. So I am really looking forward to doing that and seeing how that goes. 

Alex / ILP Project StarGazer

Right now in my ILP, we have gotten down the controls for our joystick and are going to code in the controls. We are also waiting for a throttle for our cockpit that we already coded in but it hasn't come in since a few months. I think everything is fine, but we're going to have to boost our productivity since we need to get ready for EduCon 2.8.

Samuel Dennis: ILP w/ Technical.ly Philly

So far, my time at Technical.ly Philly has been jammed packed with a big interview, and i'm set up with a small task on making tweets on the side. So far, Technical.ly has been such a great experience for me, even if I'm working with people who are way higher than my work range. It is also interesting to engage in their adult like conversations about startups and new stories to cover. My mentor, Juliana Reyes, has introduced me to all of the writers and the editors at Technical.ly Philly, and who I get to work with. My first interview was carried put with a boy named Nicodemus Madehou. He created a video game called Turbo Finger Swipe, and I got to interview him. It was fun. Technical.ly Philly is a good ILP.

Art Portfolio

Posted by Tauqee Friend in Advanced Art - Hull - a2 on

This Quarter's  art was the best so far. I say this with the utmost confidence for a few reasons. One of them is that if you look at my art last year and my art this year you can see the improvement. Another reason why I say this because I am more engaged in my projects then I was before. I have taken out more time to make my projects to the best of my ability.


My ceiling tile was inspired by Tv. One day I was watching NFL network And I saw patrick peterson and since he is one of the best players in the NFL right now I decided to use him as an art project. This project was a little difficult for me because I never did a ceiling tile before but since I had help from my partners the project turned out great.


My self portrait was the hardest project out of my art profolio. I say this because It was hard to envision myself while I was drawing. Also I didn’t know how to draw some of my features like my hair. I feel like it is very accurate because I got the same skin complexion and low eyes that I have. I also added the kmart tag that I wear to work as an extra touch.


My next piece was “allah” in arabic. I did this because I grew up muslim and in my home environment I was surrounded by all things Islam so when Ms. Hull gave us the opportunity to free draw that was the first thing that popped in my head . This was pretty easy because I have pictures in my house similar to mine so it was easy to visualize on paper.
